Well, I was finally able to grab a shot of the Orchard Oriole today. He was there alone, and then some Baltimore Orioles showed up. I've had the FZ35 for a couple months now (Boy time flies!), and the more I use it the more I love it. I have been taking these shots with the program mode for the most part. Sometimes I might use the outdoor sports setting. I've been taking these pictures through a window. I hope it doesn't mess with the quality too much.
